Why Booker T. Washington Remains a Model for the Ages by Lawrence Reed

Very recommendable! Such foolish ideologies like "Black Lives Matter" or "Critical Race Theory" or "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" would probably never have come to his great mind! Likewise those who were educated in the tradition of the Tuskegee Institute! That is one reason why he is not a favorite of the leftists!

"A truly remarkable black American, Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) believed that the way to build up and improve a country is for each person to build up and improve himself [or herself]. That may sound revolutionary in an age of entitlement, victimology and cancel culture, but it’s still as true as truth gets. He was an enemy of what tears people and countries down: envy, hatred, idleness, arrogance, and disrespect for life and property. ..."
